I think it's their marketing way of saying, Look at the bezel, look how thin they are.
Which I kinda can at least see?, since people seem to enjoy tenkeyless (so no numpad) design for gaming (gives bit more room for the mouse) and it does look thin in my eyes with the whole low profile case (whatever they call those design where you can see half the keyboard switch from the side) and actual size.
Though, I doubt it means anything outside of what I said, like the pro bs and crap I don't get either.
I actually bind all my keys to numpad. KB is far left, left hand on numpad, mouse in right hand. CSS professional here, lol And fark "mechanical" KBs, you press slim keys much faster.
Eh, be very fair, I think half the gimmicks about gaming is, gimmicks.
An athlete could use something and the other one could use something completely different and in the end, whatever floats your boat I suppose?
@ATangk: If you ask me, I hate RGBs on the keyboards. They make desoldering so much more difficult, and adds another layer of problems with Cherry profile keycaps.
There was one youtube video which I found very interesting. It was unfortunately not in English so I see no point in sharing here, but basically a tech enthusiast was showing his $2000? $3000? dollars keyboard to people who played games professionally (I cannot remember what game it was, I am guessing League of Legends?).
Anyways, their opinion if I remember wasn't "OMG, I want this keyboard", but rather, oh it's a really good keyboard I think I'd rather use mine though?
I thought that was at least interesting.
I think the whole Cherry MX switch keyboard being the best keyboard for gaming probably died when more and more switches got developed.
Any good for non gamer?
"Gaming" mechanical keyboards are really no different from any normal mechanical keyboard using the same switches - it's mostly aesthetics and marketing.
If you like the way this keyboard looks and the linear feel of the Cherry MX Red switches, then you'll have no issues typing with it. Keep in mind that cherry MX red switches don't have the tactile click associated with Cherry MX Blues.
Thanks for clarifying, good to know that.
Depends on your preference - reds are a linear switch so you need to press them all the way down to activate them (like a regular membrane keyboard). They aren't clicky or anything, so are more quiet than browns or blues.
You don't have to, key still registers at around 2mm, similar to brown or blue.
It probably depends if you want to give up the numpad for extra mouse space/portability and on your preference of switches. These are linear which don't have any feedback.
Here's an overview of what it's like to use.
That video showcases a different model RGB lighting and different branded switches, sorry!
Op link seems to be taking me to a set of mechanical keys only (not the keyboard)
